The document summarizes feedback from audience members who viewed the opening sequence of a student film. Questionnaires and interviews were conducted after the screening. Based on the feedback, most audience members did not understand the storyline or feel that the opening sequence set up the film well. They also had issues with the titles, sound, and editing. However, the genre of the film was clear. The students will make changes to address the issues, like developing the story more and improving editing.

your audience?

2. Audience Feedback
• Feedback was gathered from the audience at the
screening of our opening sequence in the
theatre. This was attained through
questionnaires being conducted during the
screening as well as interviews being taken
afterwards.
• The following are the questions asked and the
answers we received:

Column1 • All 12 of the participants in the
questionnaire said they did not
understand the storyline.
Although this is not what we
wanted to achieve, it has helped
us see that our story is not
presented clearly enough.
• Due to this, we have now
developed out story and filmed
more scenes in order for the
audience to understand the plot
further.

Did this film feel like the beginning of
a film?

• Although an improvement of
the first question, the majority
of the feedback told us that our
film did not feel like the
beginning of a film.
• We therefore now know that
changes are needed to be
made, we have watched
further opening sequences of
films and will alter our film
accordingly.

the film?

analysis provided us with

elements of our chosen genre.
